Hello David,
I would just like to say that the debate really surprised me, and in
fact your arguments their in have made me see a different side of
things. Initially I saw it simply as the communications companies
trying to generate new revenue streams by inventing new types of
service charges without any regard for the freedom of consumers; to a
certain extent, I still believe that is true. Yet on the other hand,
to believe that Google is such a benevolent entity, always watching
out for the good of mankind -- I don't believe that either. Now
instead of an ideological debate per se, it looks more like both sides
merely tyring to defend their cash flow, and the rights of the
individuals involved are more cloudy and un-certain.
As you say, we should not rule out a path we haven't tried yet, so how
do we know if going against net neutrality is truly the wrong way?
Perhaps it would have some interesting effects and spur competition?
In any case, I don't suppose to have an answer, the nature about the
argument seems more clear to me now than it did. It is wrong for me
to feel like I would trust Vinton Cerf more if he weren't working for
Google?
Thank you again very much,
John LaRue

Hello Professor,
Is it possible to get a higher quality copy of the audio recording
than the one posted on the web site?
Thank you,
